ACTOR/PRODUCER
“Marty is such a versatile and thorough musician. He works very quickly and bends all musical conventions to his will with total ease. It's rare to find such a consummate musician who is equally adept as producer in the studio.”
Hope Dickson-Leach
DIRECTOR
“Working with Marty was a brilliantly organic, collaborative experience. He was able to create the perfect tracks in a swift turn around time. It allowed me to incorporate the music into our film in advance which helped so much with the vision of the project."

"Marty's film scores get to the emotional core of the story unfolding on screen and help us to understand it. They clarify and bring into sharp focus the interior lives of the characters whose journeys we are following, and help us to laugh and to cry."
Annie Griffin
DIRECTOR
"It was a pleasure working with you on the soundtrack to LOGAN HIGH. I like that you came up with clear ideas for the music straight away, and were able to get on with it. Your music was bold and distinctive enough to give the programme a sense of its own world - which is what we’re always looking for in a soundtrack. Thank you!"
Craig Illot
THEATRE DIRECTOR
“There’s no doubt Marty is an extremely accomplished musician, but he also understands the importance of the visual in a theatrical experience. He knows when music should serve and when it should soar - and he deftly enables both. No doubt these are some of the reasons he also makes such a fine MD. He cares deeply about the product and is a wonderful collaborator to have at your side.”
Evan Buist
MANAGING DIRECTOR
MELODIE PUBLISHING
“Marty is a gifted musician and composer with A-grade production chops & an incredible sounding studio. He’s a true virtuoso on the guitar with a Knofler-esque touch - some of the coolest playing you’ll hear. Marty is the consummate professional, he loves his job and is a complete joy to work with."
Ollie Raphael

Gavin Turnbull
GTMP PRODUCTIONS
“Marty brings his talent as a performer and his musical expertise with his love of cinema to any project we collaborate on. Whether it’s a short theme, a trailer score or ideas for full length documentaries he’ll combine his own style with a pushing of boundaries to find the perfect accompaniment for the story and pictures”

Kevin Penkin
COMPOSER
“Having worked with Marty on the recent Spice and Wolf soundtrack, I’m in awe of the dedication he brought to every aspect of his work. The absolute craft and tenacity he gave as an artist cannot be over-exaggerated and it was a deep honour to be able to work with him. I can’t wait for our next adventure!”
